Say Goodbye
Jordan Knight Lyrics

Yeah
An expression used to show agreement or confirmation.

I've been so lost lately
I have been feeling confused and directionless lately.

I don't really understand baby
I don't fully comprehend what is happening, my love.

Where did I go wrong
Where did I make a mistake or go astray?

I wanna talk to you
I desire to communicate with you verbally.

Please call
Kindly reach out to me by phone.

Where do I begin with you
How do I start to describe or explain my feelings about you?

After all that we've been through
Considering everything we have experienced together.

I don't think that it would be right if we
I believe it would not be morally or ethically acceptable if we...

Got together so suddenly
Reconciled or reunited rapidly or unexpectedly.

I wish that I could take back all the things that I said
I desire to retract or undo all the words that I spoke previously.

And replace them with simply I love you instead
And replace them with a straightforward declaration of love instead.

You don't wanna say goodbye
You are unwilling to bid farewell.

But you never really seem like you wanna try
However, your actions indicate a lack of effort or willingness to attempt to fix things.

But I only wanted you to stay
But all I desired was for you to remain with me.

Then I let you just slip away
But I did not prevent you from leaving and allowed you to depart.

If you didn't listen to your heart inside
If you did not pay attention to your innermost feelings.

Then it really doesn't matter what was on your mind
Then it is irrelevant what thoughts may have crossed your mind.

And if you need me then tell me why
If you require my presence or assistance, kindly provide a reason or explanation.

Girl, I never meant to say goodbye
Lady, I never intended to bid farewell permanently.

I think about the past baby
I reminisce about our history, my dear.

Why we couldn't make it last, lady
Why our relationship was not able to endure, my lady.

I know you still have doubts
I am aware that you continue to harbor uncertainties or reservations.

But I'm gonna prove that we can work things out
But I am determined to demonstrate that we are capable of resolving our issues.

I wanna be sure that you know what you put me through
I want to ensure that you understand the emotional turmoil that you caused me.

And reveal that you intend to never let me down again
And disclose that you have resolved to never disappoint me in the future.

It's clear to me and I can't ignore
It is evident to me and I cannot disregard it.

That I have to give you something I couldn't before
That I must provide you with something that I was incapable of giving previously.

I didn't think that we would come to this
I did not expect that our relationship would deteriorate to this point.

Oh, no
An exclamation indicating surprise or dismay.

Your eyes, your face, your smile is what I miss
I long for your eyes, face, and smile.

Why'd you wait so long to take me back
Why did you delay so much in accepting me again?

It's all a simple misunderstanding
It is merely a minor miscommunication or confusion.

But I never meant to say
However, I did not intend to state...

But you never really seem like you wanna try (But I never meant to say)
But your actions indicate that you are not willing to put in effort or attempt to solve our problems. (However, I did not intend to bid farewell permanently.)

If you didn't listen to your heart inside (Never meant to see you cry, never meant to say)
If you did not pay attention to your innermost feelings prior to my departure. (I did not intend to make you cry or say farewell.)

Then it really doesn't matter what was on your mind
In that case, it is irrelevant what ideas or thoughts may have crossed your mind.

And if you need me then tell me why
If you require my presence or assistance, kindly provide a reason or explanation.

Girl, I never meant to say goodbye
Lady, I never intended to bid farewell permanently.
